Class 4
Cliffe House
admin on: Class 4
Now we are all back from Cliffe House, I just wanted to take the opportunity to say how fantastic all the children were. They were a credit to our school, they behaved well and they were some of the best sleepers I've ever taken on a residential! The progress the children made in teamwork and communication skills really shone through and they developed their geography skills through our river walk. Mrs Lindley, Miss Littler, Mrs Sykes and I were all very impressed with them.
I have done a residential nearly every year of my career and I cannot say enough how fantastic they are for children. It brings out the best in them and allows them to shine at things they haven't necessarily tried before. I hope you can see a difference in your child and understand why I am so passionate about learning outside the classroom!
Here are a selection of photographs from our time at Cliffe House. There are some more on the class gallery.
Cliffe House Day 2
admin on: Class 4
We have had a fun-filled day here at Cliffe House. All the children went on a river walk, where they learnt about features of a river and picked up some other interesting woodland facts along the way. Also, we all had a go at archery, there were some real naturals! The children also had a go at creating some artwork in the woods.
In the evening, the children got the chance to explore the adventure playground before we settled down to watch a film before bed.
As I am writing this, I am pleased to say all the children are asleep (or at least quiet!!!) and something tells me they will sleep well tonight.
Tomorrow, pick up will be from 1. I will also upload some photographs to the blog when I am back in school in the afternoon.
I think it’s time I got a few precious hours kip now,

Class 4's final brass performance.
admin on: Class 4
On Friday, Class 4 performed their final concert as a brass band. Not only was it Class 4's final performance, it was the last time Mr. Garlick will conduct a whole class brass band as he is retiring from teaching!
We are very sad to see you go, Mr. Garlick. I have had a wonderful two years seeing you teach two cohorts of year 4 children and I know you have taught many people brass over the years, including some who are now parents here at Netherthong! We wish you all the best for the future!
Here is a picture from our performance on Friday at the summer fair.
